Mrs. Large just wants 5 minutes of peace from her energetic family. She tries to take a nice calm bubble bath but ends up with all three children in the bath with her. She goes to read the newspaper and gets just under 4 minutes of quiet before the children need her again.

book would be a good way to encourage young children to give their mothers some peace and quiet especially around Mother's day. This is also a great book to keep in a classroom collection or a library so parents and children can read it together. Show Less

Roll Around Floor Laughing! But is it for the child or the parent?

How can you not love (and identify with) this mother elephant? She just wants five minutes alone in the bath, but her family just doesn't understand.

Mrs. Large just wants to take a nice bath to relax, but the rest of her family thinks she shouldn't. It's a very cute story.

A sweet book about a mother elephant and how she wants just a few minutes to be by herself but her children have different ideas and seem to need her every second of the day.
